No one likes stepping in dog poo, whether it's on a sports field or footpath.
Monash residents are encouraged to show courtesy for others by picking up after their dogs.
Picking up after your dog also means you are doing the right thing by the environment. Some dog droppings contain harmful bacteria and nutrients. When dog droppings are left outdoors and it rains, harmful bacteria from the droppings can be washed down drains and end up in local creeks.
